HER ANSWER.

All day long she held my question
In her heart
Stunned my eyes that craved an answer,
Moved apart;
Touched my hand in goodnight greeting
Roster grew,
Should | leave to-morrow-early,
Then adieu!
Bent her head in farewell courteous,
Onward passed,
While a cold hand gripped my heart
strings.
Held them fast.
Still | waited still | listened.
All my soul
Trembled to the eyes that watched her
AS she stole
Up the stairs with measured footsteps;
But she turned,
Where a lamp in brazen bracket
Brightly burned,
Showed me all the glittering ripples
Of her hair,
Yelled her eyes IN violet SHADOWS
Glimmered where
Curved her mouth IN soft compliance
Toward me from the dusty railing
As she bent
All my love** X One white hand wanders
To her hair,
Slowly lifts the rose that nestles
Softly there,
Breathes she in its heart my answer,
Shyly sweet,
And Loves message mutely lutters
TO my feet. -BeIgraria

HOW TO CLEAN DRESSES.

Get five cents worth of soap-bark
from the druggists (about a teacup-
full. For n dress, take half Of it
and steep in about one quart of boil
ing water for about half an hour or
more, then strain through a cloth.
For a silk dress, while the liquid
is warm, take a piece of white fan
mel and dip into it at intervals, and
rub the silk, or satin, with it till it
seems cleansed. When done, pull
the material straight and hang it to
dry do not iron either the silk or
satin. If the dress is very much
soiled, use clean liquor to rinse it
but do not use clear water for silk,
Dr. it will not stiffen up we'll.
For a woollen dress, dip the part
to be cleansed, or the whole of it, if
needed, into the liquor. This can be
rinsed in the same, after washing, or
in clear water. If very dirty put
the dress to soak in a tub, in the IL
quor, with more water added, before
cleaning or washing. The woollen
goods should be pressed before they
are quite dry.
Water in which potatoes have
been boiled will cleanse delicate-col-
ored woollen or worsted goods. The
dress should be wet all over. Use
no soap. Rinse in clear warm wa
ter. Press while still damp. This
will not injure the most delicate
colors.
The liquor in which soap-bark has
been stepped, when used cold, is ex-
cellent for washing blue lawns that
are easily faded. Itshould be washed
with more water than is used for
wooliens.-Fdrm and Garden.
